Sarahan, NH-5 and the road to Kinnaur
Rampur is the gateway to Kinnaur on NH-5. Beyond Rampur the highway has single-lane, rockfall-prone stretches between Wangtu and Karcham, worst in the monsoon; in winter it stays open on most days and is the only route to Spiti.
Sarahan and its Bhimakali temple are a short climb off the highway — cooler than Rampur all year and snowy in winter.
